We can’t wait to come back
Pros:

Return to this property. If we ever stay in Cape Town again, the Bay hotel is where we will go. Everything was perfect. The staff was so professional, helpful, and friendly. The property itself is absolutely beautiful and has more amenities than we even realized location is perfect.

Cons:

Nothing to dislike

Pros:

The African dinner was absolutely exceptional! The quality of the food was spectacular; the chefs did a fabulous job at the braai! This is my son's first visit to Southern African, so for him to have a taste of a signature meal was very meaningful to me and he loved it. The location of course speaks for itself, just stunning. One can never get tired of that amazing view.

Cons:

Leaving!

The perfect Capetown Hotel
Pros:

This hotel is amazing. Terrific selection of different level rooms, but even the least expensive would be. 5 stars anywhere else. The location is fantastic and it's very easy to get around to anywhere you want to visit in Capetown. I give it my highest recommendation. I have never even heard of a hotel that has a "pillow menu" so you can get your sleep just the way you want. In my case, I loved the original pillows but some in our party had them changed out. The breakfast in the morning is a stand out.
